👉 Paratorchus is a type of cephalopod, typically found in saltwater habitats such as oceans and seas, where they live in symbiotic relationships with their host, often humans or other marine organisms. They are known for their unique ability to form colonies, which can be up to 50 individuals in size. Paratorchus is primarily responsible for the reproduction of their host through a process called budding, which involves the formation of a complex structure on the host's body.
